Board tables Policy 003 (functions) pending solicitor review
Summary
Board members debated a new paragraph giving the superintendent authority to make "non-substantive" changes to policy and ultimately laid Policy 003 on the table for solicitor review and possible revision.
The board delayed consideration of Policy 003 after several members said proposed amendments needed solicitor review. The proposed paragraph would have allowed the superintendent to make certain non‑substantive changes without returning to the board, and members disagreed on whether that language should remain.
One director said, "I'm not gonna vote on these, amendments ... our solicitor really needs to look at this before, these proposed amendments before we would approve this," arguing legal review is necessary before adopting changes. The board voted to lay Policy 003 on the table and asked the solicitor to review the proposed amendments before the policy returns for further action.
